I fish almost always with bait (boat).
I have been using Shimano 6500 bait runners (4 of em') for years, and I can state they are an awsome reel.
Only this year did one need some repair, but it has many years behind it and was never opened til this year.
The best thing is you can set quick without messing with the bail or palming the spool, so there are very few gut hooks even
with J-hooks which I also always use.
I use them for chunking or live lining. It works equally as well.
Oh yea and I have put up to 50 lb on them. (way over the rating !!)
usually I use 30 or 40 no problem.
Again from a boat..
Good Luck.
